Chapter 833: Chapter 830 Always Watching You

It might be because of his refined looks, Yun Xiaotian’s smile was particularly pleasant. Lin Tian glanced at him and could only pretend to cough twice, clearing his throat and saying, "Don’t worry, Mr. Yun, I understand."

"Calling me ’Mr. Yun’ feels distant. Brother Lin, just call me Yun Xiaotian or Xiao Tian. Are we considered friends?" Yun Xiaotian said with a shy smile, one that didn’t show his teeth.

Here it came again. Lin Tian looked at his shy smile and almost thought he was seeing a beautiful woman smiling.

"Uh, Xiao Tian, could you maybe show your teeth when you smile?" Lin Tian suggested with some distress.

Yun Xiaotian blinked, not fully understanding what Lin Tian meant, but still said, "I’ve been taught since I was young that showing your teeth when you smile at others is impolite, so I’ve gotten used to smiling like that. Brother Lin, is something confusing you?"

"Who says it’s impolite? I think not showing your teeth when you smile is not sincere. You don’t want to show your true self to your friends." Lin Tian thought for a moment and came up with a reason.

"What Brother Lin says makes sense." Yun Xiaotian smiled, this time showing his teeth.

Yet even with a toothy smile, the boy still looked delicate like a girl. Lin Tian had no choice but to give up trying to change his mind, because the issue wasn’t his smile, it was the fact that his appearance was naturally feminine.

"Xiao Tian, what did you want to see me about?" Lin Tian returned to the main topic, asking in confusion.

"I heard that Xikou City High School is holding a free clinic event and both Dean Miao and you are participating, so I came to check it out," Yun Xiaotian said.

"Oh? Your information is quite up-to-date," Lin Tian said in surprise.

Yun Xiaotian wasn’t from Xikou City, so Lin Tian was indeed a bit surprised he knew about a small high school’s event. Yun Xiaotian gave another toothy smile, his white and neatly arranged teeth matching his rosy lips, truly lips like cherries, teeth like pearls.

"Actually, I’ve always been keeping an eye on you," Yun Xiaotian said with a smile.

Lin Tian was taken aback, a bunch of question marks popping into his mind. Keeping an eye on me? What for? Could it be Yun Xiaotian really had a thing for guys? Looking at his submissive appearance, he seemed to have a tendency for Brokeback Mountain.

Such a handsome young man, with such great conditions, what kind of girl couldn’t he find? Why did he have to like men? Lin Tian thought with great regret.

Wait, why was I using "handsome" to describe him? "Handsome" is for describing girls, right? Lin Tian felt like his mind was getting a bit messy.

"Brother Lin...what are you thinking about?" Yun Xiaotian waved his hand in front of a dazed Lin Tian, curious to know what he was thinking.

Seeing Yun Xiaotian’s hand suddenly reach over, Lin Tian thought he was going to touch his face and inwardly shouted "damn it" before quickly stepping back two steps.

After standing still, Lin Tian realized Yun Xiaotian was just waving his hand, and he sighed in relief. At the same time, he wondered, could it be he misunderstood this kid?

Seeing Yun Xiaotian’s questioning look, Lin Tian had no choice but to answer, "Oh, I was just wondering why you are interested in me. I’m just a high school student, nothing special to be concerned with."

"Brother Lin, there’s no need for such humility. It’s true you’re a high school student, but you’re no ordinary one either. To me, you’re like a dragon lurking in a campus. This small place isn’t your stage. You belong to vast oceans and infinite skies, diving and flying, capturing turtles from the five oceans."

"Although I don’t know why Brother Lin stays in a small high school, I believe that one day you’ll soar to great heights, become a renowned figure." Not realizing Lin Tian’s odd ideas, Yun Xiaotian expressed his heartfelt praise, which seemed exaggerated but genuinely sincere.

This kid’s flattery skills aren’t bad, they say to praise someone you praise them to the sky, and this kid really praised me to the skies, even talking about flying dragons and whatnot. I’m not that ambitious, isn’t life good just teasing Miss and Second Miss here and there? Lin Tian thought nonchalantly.

In this society, no one is born a protagonist, nor does society need heroes. Do some things for people, and they can elevate you to a hero. Fail to meet expectations tomorrow, and they can demean you to worthlessness.

It’s like our sports champions; no matter how much honor you’ve brought to people in the past, once you fail, everyone will criticize you and drag you through the mud. That’s human nature, so Lin Tian scoffs at the idea of becoming some great figure.

Succeed in silence, do what you like. If anyone tries to stop me, I’ll get rid of them. Life’s that simple, Lin Tian thought with great ease.

Seeing Lin Tian unmoved, Yun Xiaotian’s eyes showed admiration. He had seen many great figures, yet even the most formidable person, faced with praise from others, would care, at least internally. It’s human instinct to like hearing good things.

But from Lin Tian’s eyes, Yun Xiaotian couldn’t detect any emotion. He’d never seen such tranquility. Even his grandpa, Mr. Li, and Mr. Ou, who were all prominent figures, didn’t possess such peace of mind.

At a glance, Yun Xiaotian felt he could see all of Lin Tian, yet it seemed like he couldn’t see anything at all—a mysterious man.

"Brother Lin, actually, there’s no other meaning behind my interest in you. I came today for a specific reason," Yun Xiaotian said honestly.

But before he finished, Lin Tian interjected, "It’s about the old man’s illness, right?"

"As expected, nothing escapes Brother Lin. Actually, I’ve been watching you to observe your medical skills. I hope you won’t mind, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that my grandpa’s illness is involved, and I have to be careful," Yun Xiaotian said with a slight apology.

This was human nature, Lin Tian could totally understand. If Yun Xiaotian had come to him for the old man’s illness just after seeing him perform acupuncture once, Lin Tian would have considered that odd.

The Yun Family’s old master wasn’t someone whose illness could be treated by just anyone, as his life and death impacted the family’s fate.

This wasn’t an exaggeration. The Yun Family’s financial strength wasn’t lower than the Li Family’s. The reason why the Yun Family had been suppressed by the Li Family was due to the health issues of the Yun Family’s old master.

Once the Yun Family’s old master passed away due to illness, many connections would be severed, not to mention the more significant losses in the dark. An old master’s death might signify a family’s decline unless the successor is strong enough.

A person’s influence can affect an entire family, that’s the power of the older generation.

Plus, it wasn’t Lin Tian’s first time being investigated by others. Mrs. Xiao investigated when hiring bodyguards, Ning Weiguo investigated, and many others investigated secretly. He didn’t care anymore.

"Then why are you personally here this time? Has the old man’s condition worsened?" Lin Tian asked, still puzzled.
